This place may as well be an illegal Chinese parlor!
The biggest red flag should have been that I didn’t sign a waiver and mark exactly what I needed like at normal spots with integrity.
I told the woman my problem areas and that I need firm pressure instead I got a Swedish massage and she didn’t even touch my problem areas how I needed.
I’ve had knots in my neck for over a month. Do you think she got one knot out?
I mentioned my shoulder was in pain. Do you think she even touched my shoulder?
I mentioned my lower back also has pain, two days later in the same position.
Don’t get me started on the timing. I got a 75 minute massage. She only gave me about 60-65 minutes. She was out the door and had cleaned up before the time was even up.
I can’t believe I wasted $200.
This place is just a glorified hell hole, if you have actual issues, go see a massage therapist not any random people they get off the street and then they have two pansies in the front checking you out. 😆
So unprofessional, I will never come back here ever again. Take my advice and look elsewhere.

One of the best massages I've had. Peter was very communicative at the beginning, which always provides a deeper level of comfort, and then checked in about pressure level and any specific needs/concerns throughout. Even provided some tips for a particularly knotty joint! Soothing atmosphere and experience in a bustling area. Not cheap, but unsurprising cost for the location - and turned out to be worth it!

I had an amazing massage experience with Peter. He was extremely attentive to my pain and modified the session as such. I liked how he combined breathing techniques, and a hot stone to aid the massage! I also really liked his head massage as I’ve been suffering from terrible headaches! He was also very personable and kind — highly recommend booking with him!
